I ordered the set of 3 4-wick Slatkin candles for the holiday on autodelivery.  I see that the Spring set has shipped.  Does anyone know what teh spring scents are?

Thanks!

@srgtdj- when I saw I was getting these, I went to You Tube to look it up.  The fragrances are Green Grass, Kitchen Lemon and Clean Cotton.

I was really upset with last set of 4 wick Pear scented Homeworx Candles I received..... DROWNING WICKS....all the other candles I ordered had burned clean except these....wasn't crazy about the scent either.  Now I don't know if I will take a chance of ordering Homeworx candles again!  Really disappointed!!!!

I haven't been a past fan of Slatkin candles (since his return, never had them when he was here before), as my mom ordered some when he very first came back, and most were just blah in my opinion. 

I stepped out this year and got the fruit basket ones. I got blueberry when it was a TSV, and I liked it so much, when they went on as is and free shipping day, I got strawberry and pumpkin ones too, plus refills for them. I burned one of the pumpkin ones only and the wicks did ok, no soot and great smell, so I branched out this past late fall, when he had the set of two four wicks TSV. I got the peppermint by accident as they shipped the wrong thing (I had ordered pear) and loved it, so order more as is on free ship day. I got the pear too, and it is just ok, and I got the brown one too (over the woods?) with a nice vanilla (to me) scent.

The first one of these I burned, did great, but the second one did well till about half burned, then the wicks were too little to stay lit and I'd say the bottom quarter of the candle was wasted, wouldn't stay lit. And no I didn't trim the wicks. 

His wicks seem to be very fragile, and I'm not sure that is a good thing. 

I got backups of every scent I purchased originally on as is and free ship, and I'm hoping that these aren't 'fussy' and half of them don't burn over the next year or so that I hoped to use them.

I got an apple one from my mom this fall that is super duper wonderful and I wish all his candles were that fragrant and burned that clean and fully. 

I'm beginning to think this is like Temp-tations. Inconsistent in quality. Something that drives me nuts, not knowing if something is going to be good or not.

All the other candles I purchased burned clean and I have always followed his instructions regarding the wicks and putting the candles out etc.....  Yet somewhere along the production line they decided to change something which cheapened the quality....And your right thats what Temp-tations did.
